Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. (Hon.) Sheriff Oborevwori, has cautioned Publishers of Community Newspapers in the State against negative reportage as the 2023 general elections draw closer, stressing the need for the publishers to always verify their stories before going to press.
The Speaker, gave the advice when members of Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria, ACNPN paid him a courtesy visit in his office at Asaba.
According to Sheriff Oborevwori, Community Newspaper Publishers should not malign the reputation or personality of any political office holder in the course of collecting money to destroy such personality.
He said that Publishers of Community Newspaper should abide by the ethics of the profession in carrying out their journalistic duties.
The Speaker, further affirmed that the legislative, executive and judiciary arms of government need the Community Newspapers to function credibly, stressing that without Community Publishers, Communities will not be informed on the policies and activities of the government.
Rt. (Hon) Oborevwori, maintained that the Delta State House of Assembly under his leadership will partner with Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria (ACNPN) for better working relationship that will lead the state to greater height.
Delta Sate Chairman of ACNPN, Comrade Jude Obiemenyego, in his remarks, assured that the association will work with the legislative arm of government in actualising good policies that would bring upliftment and development to the State.
